lol I was just saying to my other half yesterday that I'm really struggling to cope with the workload and my job too!! I just dont have the motivation to do work after being on my feet all day Early shifts constitute of me working 8.30am - 4pm then I pick up my other half and walk the rottweiler then have tea then a bath - by which time it's about half 9 if not later meaning i'm almost asleep. My late shifts constitute of me working 11am-6.30pm (on a good day, 7.30 on a bad day) so by the time i've got home, walked the rottweiler, had tea and had a bath, it's about half 10, if not later!! Can you see a copious pattern emerging?! :( During work I get bits done when i can of my ANA or VCA coursework and the staff here try to help me as much as possible but there's just not enough bloomin hours in the day!!

Just wondered if anyone who has done or doing the VCA was able to work at the same time as doiing the course? Will need to get two days a week but just wondered if anyone could inform me of the workload?

Most people studying the ANA/VCA courses will be employed in practice either full or part time anyway rather than volunteering a couple of days a week. As with any course its worth setting yourself a timetable to work towards though.

I do it through a correspondence course, which my tutor sends me a pack out every time i finish the pack before. I've been getting a pack every 2 months ish. I think it would be so much easier through a college though. but no colleges in my area do the VCA / ANA anymore :(

So how much workload do you get every week for college?
